Bant isn't a control deck, nor an aggro deck. It's a tempo deck, a.k.a. aggro-control.

I would argue that an aggro-control deck is both aggro and control simultaneously. It's a control deck diluted by aggro components, and an aggro deck bolstered by control elements.

I would argue that the spells are in place to make Bant aggro or control as you want or anything in between I predict as the archetype matures you will end up seeing a couple variant themes ie full control vs aggro control. THey both have their places.

Or, if I may summarize:
Bant isn't a control deck, nor an aggro deck. It's an aggro-control deck.
Unless you meant that it is neither solely an aggro deck nor solely a control deck, this is somewhat contradictory. Either that of aggro-control is very confusingly named.

Yah that's what I meant. It's not pure control nor pure aggro.

But youre ignoring the fact that a competent deck builder CAN make it either pure control or pure aggro or ANYTHING in between to fit his personality perfectly.
There have been a lot of cards over the years that control has always wished it could play and those cards are now finding a home in Bant. Gross cards like Troll Ascetic and Wrath. Cards Like troll cant be stopped with counterspell defenses, and then you get acceleration to boot?! Wtf.com. Troll isnt your style? How about eternal witness in a control deck? Can you say yum?
I sometimes play my standard format bant deck in Extended and it wins all the time. WHy? Because its a pure aggro deck that plays like a Bant colored Zoo deck.

Of course you can make it into pure control. But then, it isn't really the same deck, it's more like Next-Level Blue. But I do agree that Bant Tempo is probably the deck to go if you want to play Aggro-Control, I haven't tried it yet, but it IS pretty powerful indeed, from what I can see.
